Spring has finally sprung and the annual festival of cleansing, scrubbing, scouring, dusting and disinfecting has begun. As we awake from our winter slumbers, it’s time to put the months of housework hibernation behind us, roll our sleeves up and make our homes sparkling clean ready for the sunny summer months.
There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction you get from a really good spring clean, but it’s most effective when you’ve de-cluttered your house first. Having a good clear out means there’s less stuff to tidy and clean around, so put away winter clothes, wellies, thick duvets, sledges and any rogue Christmas things that didn’t quite make it all the way to the Christmas box.
Next, make sure you’re armed with the right tools: cloths, sponges, scourers, scrubbing brushes, old toothbrushes, rubber gloves, old clothes and buckets, as well as cleaning products and a good disinfectant like Zoflora that kills bacteria, neutralises odours and smells fresh and fragrant!
Finally, if it all seems a bit daunting, divide your house up into sections. We’ve compiled a handy To-Scrub List with hints and tips that should get you started. And unless you’re a lean mean cleaning machine, spread it out over the course of a few days…
Happy cleaning!
